Canada Breaks Away from Conservatives and America

 How did Pierre Poilievre squander a 30-point lead heading into the 2025 election? The core issue lies in the influence of the Conservative base, volunteers, and strategists. The party is more comfortable embracing MAGA-style politics than genuinely reflecting Canadian values. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith recently told a U.S. audience, Poilievre "is more in sync with the new America" under Trump -  a sentiment echoed in the party’s campaign, which prominently features MAGA symbolism and language.

 Many Conservative voters seem more captivated by Trump-style, Florida-inspired Republicanism than by policies that truly benefit Canada or its conservative movement. Meanwhile, the United States has increasingly positioned itself as a strategic adversary to Canada, issuing daily threats of annexation, border disputes, and economic coercion.

A Roadmap to a Stronger Canada

 While the American F-35 fighter jet imposes an exorbitant financial burden due to its high cost and maintenance demands, the Halifax-made Gripen E Arrow II presents a compelling alternative. With a smaller required ground crew and a significantly lower per-unit cost, it’s an ideal fit for Canada’s vast northern frontier. For the price of one F-35, Canada could acquire three Gripen fighters - yielding substantial savings. Canada already maintains a robust fleet of helicopters, demonstrating the logistical expertise needed to manage a diverse range of aircraft, including the Gripen.

 To accommodate population growth, Canada must eliminate 100% of exclusionary zoning laws that prohibit fourplex housing. By removing single-family-only restrictions, communities across the country - from bustling cities to quiet towns - could embrace multi-unit developments that balance affordability with responsible urban expansion. With the right policies, Canada’s population could reach 100 million people, fostering both economic growth and national resilience.

 As Henry Kissinger once observed, "It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal." Canada’s military and intelligence agencies must recognize this shifting reality and treat the United States as an adversary. Growing concerns over Washington, the Kremlin, and Beijing’s strategic interests in the Arctic underscore the need for Canada to strengthen its sovereignty.

 Canada’s world-class uranium reserves in Saskatchewan - a key component of nuclear technology - could serve as both a deterrent and a means to meet the 2% GDP defense spending target. A well-funded air force and naval presence in the north would bolster Canada’s ability to project power in the Arctic, securing a stronger voice in global defense organizations. Nations with nuclear deterrents are rarely, if ever, annexed - a lesson Ukraine has learned through painful experience. As Canada navigates an increasingly unpredictable geopolitical landscape, the examples of Ukraine and Taiwan offer important lessons.

 Energy producers in Saskatchewan and Alberta face a pressing challenge: securing reliable routes to global markets - a bold, innovative solution lies in Manitoba and the shores of Hudson Bay. Establishing a naval and air force base in the region would enhance Canada’s ability to protect its economic and security interests, reinforcing its status as a leading Arctic nation.

 A partnership with the European Union represents a decisive pivot eastward - leveraging shared intelligence and security-gathering satellites launched through the European Space Agency. Meanwhile, CANZUK - a coalition of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom - offers a quieter but no less vital alliance. Rooted in economic security, trade, and mutual defense, it serves as a bulwark against global instability, binding these nations together through shared history and resilience. Because of American aggressiveness and lawlessness, Canada Breaks Away from Conservatives and America; the relationship between Canada and the United States will never be the same again.
